"2017 to March 31, 2018. A two-part live-action film adaptation was released in March and April 2017. The manga has commentary by professional shogi player Manabu Senzaki on shogi rules and culture. The series is set in Tokyo, following the everyday life of a 17-year-old shōgi player, Rei (lit. ""Zero""). Umino based the setting of ""March Comes in like a Lion"" on research she conducted herself, whereas she was already familiar with the setting for her earlier work, ""Honey and Clover"".

"The lamb and lion ""The lamb with the lion"" – often a paraphrase from Isaiah, and more closely quoted as ""the wolf and lamb"", ""a child will lead them"", and the like – are an artistic and symbolic device, most generally related to peace. The symbol is used in both Christianity and Judaism to represent the Messianic Age. In addition, in Christianity, according to a sermon by Augustine, the lion stands for Christ resurrected, the lamb for Christ's sacrifice (""He endured death as a lamb; he devoured it as a lion.""—Augustine, Sermon 375A). Although Isaiah 35:2 casts a lion metaphorically"
"as forbidden in the future paradise (""No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there""); in ,7, Isaiah references such formerly ravenous beasts as become peaceable: ""The wolf will live with the lamb, the leopard will lie down with the goat, the calf and the lion and the yearling together; and a little child will lead them. The cow will feed with the bear, their young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox."" ""In like a lion, out"
"lion begins by claiming portions as a legal right and retains the others with threats. In La Fontaine's Fables there is a fourfold division between a heifer, a goat and a lamb (""Fables"" I.6). Each of these the lion retains because he is king, the strongest, the bravest, and will kill the first who touches the fourth part. A Latin reference to Aesop's fable is found at the start of the Common Era, where the phrase ""societas leonina"" (a leonine company) was used by one Roman lawyer to describe the kind of unequal business partnership described by Aesop. The early"

He participates in the nature of minerals, vegetables, and animals: he comes into being and passes out of being like the minerals; nourishes and reproduces himself like the plants; has feeling and life like the animals. Further, he presents analogies to the characteristics of things: his erect figure resembles that of the terebinth; his hair, grass and vegetation; his veins and arteries, rivers and canals; and his bones, the mountains. Indeed, he possesses the characteristics of the animals: he is brave like a lion, timid like a hare, patient like a lamb, and cunning"
"between the two polar opposites. The mudra gejishi-in (gesture of the outer lion) and its immediate counterpart naijishi-in (gesture of the inner lion) clearly represent this yin/yang relation. In fact, not only do these two related mudras represent the alpha and omega by themselves, but the two lions associated with them take this association a step further. The two lions are commonly seen outside the doors of Buddhist temples, where they stand as guardians against evil and baleful influences. The first lion utters the sound “A” which symbolizes the alpha, that all reality and phenomena are, in the tradition of"

The male lion has its right front paw on a type of cloth ball simply called an ""embroidered ball"" (xiù qiú, 绣球), which is sometimes carved with a geometric pattern. The female is essentially identical, but has a cub under the left paw, representing the cycle of life. Symbolically, the female lion protects those dwelling inside (the living soul within), while the male guards the structure (the external material elements). Sometimes the female has her mouth closed, and the male open. This symbolizes the enunciation of the sacred word"
"4:7, where the throne of God is described: ""And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle."" Later decks avoid such overt Christian symbolism, or ignore it altogether, choosing to explain these observers as representatives of the natural world, or the kingdom of beasts. According to astrological tradition, the Lion is Leo, a fire sign; the Bull or calf is Taurus, an earth sign; the Man is Aquarius, an air sign; and the Eagle is"
"lion-like lamb that rises to deliver victory after being slain appears several times in the Book of Revelation. It is also referred to in Pauline writings: suggests that Saint Paul intends to refer to the death of Jesus, who is the Paschal Lamb, using the theme found in Johannine writings. The lamb metaphor is also in line with Psalm 23, which depicts God as a shepherd leading his flock (mankind). The Lamb of God title is widely used in Christian prayers, and the Agnus Dei is used as a standard part of the Catholic Mass, as well as the classical"

"""om"". However, Japanese adaptations state that the male is inhaling, representing life, while the female exhales, representing death. Other styles have both lions with a single large pearl in each of their partially opened mouths. The pearl is carved so that it can roll about in the lion's mouth but sized just large enough so that it can never be removed. According to feng shui, correct placement of the lions is important to ensure their beneficial effect. When looking at the entrance from outside the building, facing the lions, the male lion with the ball is on the right, and"
"lairs. The dragon and lion parts seem to war with one another, for some chimerae are dragon-like in their preference for solitude, while others live in small prides. Even if they mate, offspring are rare. The monster is an omnivore. The goat head will browse on the toughest plants and shrubs and will derive nutrition from the most barren vegetation while the lion and dragon heads can only be satisfied with flesh. The chimera hunts once every three to four days, using its strength and limited intelligence to gain an advantage over those it preys upon. Having a voracious appetite,"
"Lion The lion (""Panthera leo"") is a species in the family Felidae; it is a muscular, deep-chested cat with a short, rounded head, a reduced neck and round ears, and a hairy tuft at the end of its tail. The lion is sexually dimorphic; males are larger than females with a typical weight range of for the former and for the latter. Male lions have a prominent mane, which is the most recognisable feature of the species. A lion pride consists of a few adult males, related females and cubs. Groups of female lions typically hunt together, preying mostly on"
"young will lie down together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox. The infant will play near the cobra’s den, and the young child will put its hand into the viper’s nest. They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."""" (Isaiah, XI, FH).

"lion’s face is the symbol for Mark, whose gospel begins with “The voice of one crying in the wilderness,” suggesting the roar of a lion. Luke’s symbol is the oxen, the animal of sacrifice, as Luke stressed the atoning sacrifice of Jesus. John’s emblem is the high soaring eagle, reflecting John’s lofty and “soaring” gospel, which is far richer theologically than the others. At the entrance to the left inside door is a Greek cross with the Greek monograms for Jesus (IC) and Christ (XC), and the word “Nika,” meaning “conquers.” Thus: “Jesus Christ conquers.” At the entrance to the"

The beast itself is an eighth king who is of the seven and was and is not and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition."" The second beast is primarily described in Revelation chapter thirteen. This second beast comes out of the earth whose overall appearance is not described, other than having ""two horns like a lamb"", and speaking ""like a dragon"". His purpose is to promote the"

The S.W.A.T. cops arrive to capture the lion, but the Dumb Bunnies say he flew away.

"context of directly implies that in that specific passage Saint Paul refers the death of Jesus using the same theme. The Book of Revelation includes over twenty references to a lion-like lamb (""slain but standing"") which delivers victory in a manner reminiscent of the resurrected Christ.

In the lamb is said to have twelve apostles. The theme of a sacrificial lamb"
"the saints. Following this, another beast arises, this time from the ground. This beast, which resembles a lamb but speaks like a dragon, exercises authority on behalf of the previous, and causes ""great and miraculous signs"" by which to make people follow the original beast.

"he begins with a genealogy; Mark is the lion, roaring in the desert with prophetic power; Luke is the ox, because he begins with temple sacrifice; and John is the eagle, flying heavenwards like the divine Word. It must be said that at a certain point, once enough interpretive authorities in the church backed this scheme, many who followed simply defaulted to their authority. 3rd scheme—Augustine The lion is Matthew, because Matthew's Gospel depicts Christ royal character, he who descended from the tribe of Judah; the ox is Luke, because Christ is shown in his priestly character; the man is"

This lamb is, ""of course, the same as the lamb seen in chapter 5"", but there the lamb looked ""as if it had been slain"", whereas here it is standing triumphant on Mount Zion: ""probably the earthly one, [because] the heavenly Jerusalem of chapter 21 has not yet appeared"". The King James Version states that the 144,000 had ""his Father's name"" written on their"
"Wolf and the Lamb"". Like the lamb, the autonomist is theoretically and morally right on all points, but the practical reason of the wolf still wins because the wolf is stronger than the lamb. Chaput forgives autonomists for their too great virtue, but reproaches them for not ""following their own reasoning to the end, which can only mean independence"". Rendered insufficient by the reality of centralization to the profit of Ottawa, he suggests to autonomists that they trade their quest for provincial autonomy ""inside"" the federation for the achievement of a greater autonomy ""outside"" of it.

"he is often represented as a lion. The Barong is often portrayed accompanied by two monkeys. Barong is portrayed as a lion with a red head, covered in white thick fur, and wearing gilded jewelry adorned with pieces of mirrors. The shape of lion Barong is somewhat similar to a Pekingese dog. The origins of the Barong are far a back in time and quite uncertain. Its origins could be from animist worship, before Hinduism appeared, when villagers still believed in the supernatural protective power of animals. On the other hand, Rangda is Barong's opposite. While Barong represents good, Rangda"
"Lamia (Dungeons & Dragons) In the ""Dungeons & Dragons"" fantasy role-playing game, the lamia is a type of fictional monster. The lamia is typically portrayed in the game as a creature with the lower body of a lion, and the upper torso, arms, and head of a human female. A less common type of lamia, the lamia noble, was depicted as having the lower body of a serpent. The lamia was introduced in the first edition ""Advanced Dungeons & Dragons"" game's original ""Monster Manual"" sourcebook, written by Gary Gygax and published in 1977.

One of its heads had a mortal wound which healed itself, causing people to wonder at it and follow it. () This description draws many parallels with a vision in the Book of Daniel where four beasts symbolizing a succession of kingdoms come out of the sea in the forms of a lion, bear, leopard and a beast with ten horns.

The mythological creature Chimera, depicted as a lion, with the head of a goat arising from its back, and a tail that might end with a snake's head, was one of the offspring of Typhon and Echidna and a sibling of such monsters as Cerberus and the Lernaean Hydra. The sheep, synonymous with the goat in Chinese mythology, is the eighth animal of the Chinese zodiac, and a symbol of filial piety.

"cubs reach adulthood, although faint spots often may still be seen on the legs and underparts. The lion is the only member of the cat family that displays obvious sexual dimorphism. Males are more robust than females; they have broader heads and a prominent mane that grows downwards and backwards to cover most of the head, neck, shoulders, and chest. The mane is typically brownish and tinged with yellow, rust and black hairs. The tail ends in a dark, hairy tuft that in some lions conceals an approximately -long, hard ""spine"" or ""spur"" that is formed from the final, fused"
"Four and Twenty Elders Twenty-Four Elders appear in the Book of Revelation (4:4) of the Christian Bible. Saint John described the scene, In the centre of a huge hall is placed a throne: round about the Throne are four and twenty seats on which sit four and twenty Elders, robed in white and wearing crowns of gold. In this Assembly is introduced the Lamb that is to be initiated. In front of the Throne are four remarkable beasts (living creatures): one of them is like a lion, another resembles an eagle, the third has the appearance of a calf, and"
"and with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish.' Hippolytus of Rome (c. 170-c. 236) held that the Antichrist would come from the tribe of Dan and would rebuild the Jewish temple in order to reign from it. He identified the Antichrist with the Beast out of the Earth from the book of Revelation. By the beast, then, coming up out of the earth, he means the kingdom of Antichrist; and by the two horns he means him and the false prophet after him. And in speaking of “the horns being like a lamb,” he means that he will"

"brings to mind the messianic time envisioned at Isaiah 11:6, which says that the ‘wolf shall dwell with the lamb’. Referring to them as sheep also highlights the danger they will face in their mission. It draws attention to Jesus’ community as the true Israel, because Jewish literature had traditionally used sheep and wolf imagery of Israel and the nations. Because this verse follows on Jesus sending the twelve to the Israelites exclusively, the Jews hostile to his kingdom are now implicitly cast as wolves. When he tells them to be as wise as serpents, this refers back to the"
"the lion. Northern lions resemble Pekingese or Fu Dogs, and its movements are lifelike during a performance. Acrobatics are very common, with stunts like lifts, or balancing on a tiered platform or on a giant ball. Northern lions sometimes appear as a family, with two large ""adult"" lions and a pair of small ""young lions"". There are usually two performers in one adult lion, and one in the young lion. There may also be a ""warrior"" character who holds a spherical object and leads the lions. The dance of the Northern Lion is generally more playful than the Southern Lion."
